LOGINOf course, Sheila had a good temperament. She was not the kind of person who made a scene.Sheila explained, “They think I come from a rich family, so they wanted me to lower myself and be accommodating to Kent. Once, his mother was hospitalized, and it just so happened that she was admitted to the hospital where I was doing my internship.“When I found out Kent’s mother was hospitalized, I went to visit her.“Kent’s mother wanted me to take care of her so that he could go to work. She said she didn’t want to tire her son out. Since I was interning at that hospital, I could look after her without it affecting my work.“At that time, Kent hadn’t confessed to me, and I had no idea he had feelings for me. I thought he only saw me as a junior.“Her request completely shocked me. I never expected something like that. Even though I was an intern, I was still working. I had so many responsibilities. How could I take care of her?“Of course, I refused. Then she said I wasn’t considerate
Sheila said in surprise, “You actually could tell my smile was very forced when I came downstairs while you were chatting with Uncle Marvin earlier?“You have great eyesight, Alex.“Yeah, I’m a little disgruntled. It’s Kent again. He called me and told me his parents were in town and wanted to know when I’d be free to spend some time with him and his parents.“Every time his parents visit, Ms. Hicks takes care of them and spends time with them. She’s really good to him and his family.“But he plays hard to get with her. He doesn’t reject her thoroughly and lets her think there’s still hope. While pursuing me, he enjoys the meticulous care and attention Ms. Hicks lavishes on him.”Sheila added honestly, “If he weren’t my senior from school, I wouldn’t even pick up his calls.“Actually, he definitely feels something for Ms. Hicks. It’s just that my family background suits him better and can bring him more benefits. That’s the only reason he’s so reluctant to give up.“If we’re rea
Sheila rejected, “I am having a day off in a few days, but I’ve already agreed to spend it with Grandma May.“Every time your parents come to the city, isn’t it Ms. Hicks who takes care of them and spends time with them? Kent, Ms. Hicks is truly sincere and devoted to you and your family, and you’ve even slept with her before. I hope you don’t let her down.“You say you don’t like her, but you’ve never rejected her, making her think she still has a chance. That’s evidence enough that you don’t feel nothing for her.”Kent said he loved her, and Sheila did not doubt it.However, Sheila did not believe it when he said he did not like Mary.Mary had given him so much, and he should not let her down.“Sheila, why do you keep pushing me toward Mary? I don’t— It’s not what you think between us. I was drunk that night and we didn’t do anything. Nothing happened between us.”“Kent, it’s because I don’t love you, but Mary does. So I’m pushing you toward her because that’s where your happi
“Good afternoon, Kent,” Sheila spoke first.Kent, on the other hand, was silent for a moment before speaking. “Sheila, did you just get up from your nap? Or are you already at work?”“I haven’t left for work yet. I’m getting ready to, though. What’s up?”“Nothing much, I just wanted to call you to hear your voice.”Sheila fell silent for a moment before saying, “Kent, you don’t have to do this. There’s no way we’re getting together. I’ve already said all I need to say.“Also, this issue is between us. It’s got nothing to do with Alex. Stop looking for him. At best, we can only be considered ordinary friends.”“Did Alex run to tattle to you? It’s not like I did anything to him, really, I just had a chat with him. Sheila, Alex isn’t suitable for you. He doesn’t even have a proper job. When I asked him if his job was helping his cousin’s wife collect rent, he actually looked so proud of himself.“Don’t be fooled by his handsome exterior and sweet nothings.”Kent never expected Ale
Geraint agreed. “We’re not going out anymore. It’ll only make us spend more money. Just look at how much stuff you and Kent bought for us this morning. Every time we come over, you guys buy so much stuff for us to take back.”Though a large part of it was paid for by his son, Mary had bought some as well.“Kent, since your clinic is closed today and you’re free in the afternoon, why don’t you take Mary out for a change of pace? You guys are at the clinic every day, so you probably don’t get much time to go out and let loose,” Talia suggested.Mary looked towards her boss with anticipation.She wanted to go out with Kent, even if it was just for a drive. As long as she could be with him, she would be happy.After a beat of silence, Kent replied, “I don’t know where to go, though. Mary, do you have any place in mind?”“How about the beach? I haven’t been in ages and I’d like to go, enjoy the sea air, and have some seafood. I actually quite like seafood.”One of the dishes she had
Geraint and Talia both nodded.“Have a good think about it. This will affect the rest of your life and will decide if you have a happily ever after.“Whether or not your future wife will be good to us is secondary. After all, it’s your life. Once you get married, you guys will definitely stay here in the city and will only come home occasionally.“Your father and I will continue staying in our hometown. Even once we get too old to move, we have your siblings to take care of us, so we probably won’t trouble you guys too much.“So, you should put yourself first.“If you can’t find someone you like who also likes you back, you should choose the one who loves you most, because only then will she treat you well and embrace everything about you.“If you choose someone who you love but doesn’t love you back, you’re the one who’ll end up suffering.”Kent lost himself in thought.Mary finished washing the dishes and tidied the kitchen before taking off the apron and walking out.“Mary,
“I feel at ease now too, Mom. Quinn hasn’t said yes to Julian, right? Even I feel like saying yes on her behalf. The Buchams are right for Quinn. They’re all very easygoing and Quinn is the straightforward type and honestly just as easygoing. They’re like peas in a pod.”Zoey glared at Mark. “This is
As for Trenton’s share, Camryn had not taken it.Still, Newman Enterprise was under her control.“Mom told me that you should just ignore her. If she curses you, just gag her and leave.”Callum’s tone turned cold.Apart from Trenton, he despised all the Newmans, including their relatives.His beloved wif
Zoey turned to look at Quinn and asked, “What do you mean by hypoactive sexual desire disorder?”“Julian has a disorder—hypoactive sexual desire disorder. He’ll only have a reaction toward one woman in his whole life. If he never meets that woman, he’ll basically be a eunuch. It’s incurable. You coul
After a moment of thought, Zoey said, “You guys do have a point, but when Julian comes back, I still think you’d better ask to be sure and to ease my worries. Also, Julian might like Quinn and the two are a good match, but Julian is the heir of a rich family and there is still a gap between our fami
